Obituary For Darleen P. Loggins
Darleen Patterson Loggins was born on July 10, 1954 in San Francisco, California to Velma and Clarence Patterson. She was the youngest of her siblings: Mardina, Clarence Jr., Winters, and Christine. Darleen was baptized and attended Wright’s Chapel AME Church in San Francisco as a child. She was an ambitious student who graduated from Lowell High School. After graduation she attended San Jose State for her bachelor’s degree then went on to pursue her doctorate of Pharmacy at the University of California San Francisco. Just before starting pharmacy school, she married Gary Loggins on August 11, 1979. Darleen and Gary settled in Fremont, CA and raised their three beautiful children: Brian Keith, Gary Pete Jr., Aiesha Danielle.
Darleen was a gentle spirit who saved lives -- working 30 years at Washington Hospital and 15 years at Kaiser Hospital as a Pharmacist. When she wasn’t working, she loved to spend time with her family; whether it was watching Brian’s football games, Gary’s soccer tournaments, or Aiesha’s dance competitions she was always there to support her children. As they grew older; she encouraged and welcomed as they began their families. She was a proud grandmother to Callie Lynn; whom she adored.
When she wasn’t spending time with her family, she enjoyed her tea group and line dancing group. She never shied away from an opportunity to show her Calypso steps on the dance floor. Darleen was also very keen of the latest news events; she relished sharing all the latest stories in her life with family and friends. Her German chocolate cake and cheesecake were loved and appreciated by all who knew her. She was preceded in death by her parents Velma and Clarence Patterson and siblings, Winters and Christine.
Sunset for Darleen came on the morning of February 4, 2020. She is survived by her devoted husband Gary Sr., three children - Brian (Amy) Loggins, Gary Jr. (Rebekah) Loggins, and Aiesha Loggins, granddaughter Callie Lynn Loggins, siblings: Mardina Graham and Clarence Patterson Jr., Aunt Henrietta Jones, and many other family and close friends.

I am truly saddened by Darleen's passing. I spent several years working with Darleen at Kaiser Oakland pharmacy and I have only most happy, wonderful memories of her. Very smart and witty, she was always so full of life, joy and laughter. I wish she could enjoy her retirement years for way longer . But life brings unexpected twists and turns and we have no choice but accept them all. Please accept my deep condolences and many loving thoughts ! Ivana Pittnerova (pharmacy technician )

Darleen's wonderful cheerful laugh stays with me. As I write this I can see her beautiful smile and hear her joyous laugh. Darleen always seemed to be in a joyous mood with her warm smile and infectious energy. As I get older the more I realize how blessed you are to have human beings like Darleen Peterson Loggins in your life. Compassion is a way of life and if you are lucky you get to witness it first hand. I will miss Darlene's great cooking and warm welcoming heart. Family gatherings are such a soul enriching experience for me and when Darleen was present things were always that much more loving. I always felt an unspoken connection with Darleen as I've been somewhat of a recluse as I've aged. I think I'm turning into a hermit. This didn't seem to matter too much to Darleen. Whenever we would cross paths like in a parking lot of a Wells Fargo or driving down the highway at a stoplight on the way to Gary Jr. & Rebekah wedding, Darleen's warm energetic smile smile and joyous high pitched greeting always made me feel special and loved. I will always be grateful for that. Darleen was always there to help. When my mother got sick Darleen was there to help. For this I am truly grateful. Where does the time go? This journey we call life can be cruel. I sometimes forget I'm always on the clock and this journey does not last forever. On my journey I've been truly blessed to have such wonderful loving compassionate, intelligent, human beings traveling the road with me. Darleen you will always be in my heart and you will never be forgotten. You live on in all those that have had the good fortune to have known you and love you. Peace be with you Darleen. -Love Always & Thank You. -Your Nephew -Roger Brown

Darleen was a kind person with whom I worked with for many years. She was always the first one to visit a sick friend or coworker. The first to bring a present to those who just had a baby or got married. I remember many a time when she would ask me if I needed anything. She cared about people and never had an unkind thing to say about anyone. I missed her after she retired and I miss her now. My sincere condolences to her husband and her family for their loss.

I will always remember and appreciate how Darleen was always welcoming, loving and extremely gracious. She took the time to find out ones favorite meals and snacks and would make sure some of those items were on her table whenever me and my family would visit. I loved her laughter, our countless conversation about tennis, our children and so much more. My memories of Darleen are countless, priceless and too numerous to convey, I will miss her greatly; my only comfort in her passing is that I will see her again. She finished well, I truly loved my sister. Connie Loggins
